The Historical Tradeshow Model is Obsolete.

Time to Move to the Digital Future

The next five years will be an intensely competitive battle between digital marketers and tradeshow organizers over who will own and control the customer (attendee) experience.

To win the attendee battle, tradeshow organizers must implement a new digital business model that delivers high-demand “Attendee Value” and e-marketing intensity.

The Modern Digital Tradeshow (MDT) is the new digitally integrated tradeshow management platform that organizers will need to successfully win control of the attendee experience battle…drive TRAFFIC…and retain e-marketing exhibitors.

THE MODERN DIGITAL TRADESHOW
takes the surprise and fear out of the Digital future

The Modern Digital Tradeshow delivers a Strategic Road Map to also help Organizers see we are NOW in the attendee value creation business…in-person and on-line…and that attendee TRAFFIC generation is the new e-marketing and in-person combat zone. It’s straightforward…
No attendee traffic = no tradeshow.

Today, e-marketers are driving retailers to close stores for lack of TRAFFIC.

E-marketers are increasing their 24/7 customer-direct technologies including speech-bots, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Machine Learning and data analytics to anticipate and fulfill customer ( attendee) needs, wants and desires…and directly control the customer experience…if we let them.

The Modern Digital Tradeshow is focused on helping the entire tradeshow industry and individual tradeshow organizers navigate the future challenges of the emerging digital economy. It is both a strategic look ahead as well as a “how to” book to help individual show organizers become successful digital marketers.

THE MODERN DIGITAL TRADESHOW Helps Organizers

Prepare for Advancing Technologies and Customer Trends

  • Technology: IoT, VR, AI (Artificial Intelligence), AR (Augmented Reality), speech bots & robots, 5G hi-speed Internet and b2c techniques that are moving into b2b marketing.
  • “NOW marketing”: People want it NOW! Learn how to build COMPELLING events for attendees and exhibitors in this new, “NOW”, marketplace.
  • Emerging threats: b2b “customer facing technologies” that enable b2b customer “self-ordering”… just like b2c customer self-ordering from retailers…no face-to-face selling or in-person TRAFFIC.
  • Data collection, data analysis and data-driven decision making: the future “must-do” in managing shows and justifying tradeshow spending to attendees and exhibitors.
  • Millennial Marketing Managers will make tradeshow and exhibiting spending decisions. Gen Z and Gen Y will drive future budget competitions between tradeshow and e-marketing programs.

Francis Friedman is one of those all-too-rare intellects that can observe an emerging trend and almost instinctively understand how it will ultimately impact businesses and the people who rely upon them.

 

Time and time again, Francis has demonstrated that he is not only a keen observer of the changing world around us, but he also possesses the skills and talent to shine a bright light on the best path forward to a more secure future.
